Review of Coco (2017) by Dhmhtrhs B — 15 Dec 2017

From 1995 to 2010 there was no doubt that Pixar was the greatest animation studio, producing huge critical and financial hits and travelling the audiences to their beautiful and imaginative worlds with their heartwarming, original and creative stories.

Yes, they did make Cars back in 2006, but one film wasn't enough for the audiences to say goodbye to Pixar movies. Until that movie got a sequel. "Cars 2" divided audiences, leaving many widely unimpressed with its childish story.

Then came "Brave", "Monsters University" and "The Good Dinosaur" which were all solid, but not even close to what people have come to expect from Pixar. There was still "Inside Out", which was a return to from and "Finding Dory" which was a very entertaining and succesful sequel to one of Pixar's biggest hits, 2003's "Finding Nemo".

Earlier this year, Pixar released "Cars 3" which people just weren't interested in. It was better than "Cars 2" but still a far cry from the studio's best work. And while many thought "Coco" was just going to be a carbon copy of another film set in Mexico during the Day of the Dead, "Book of Life", the movie has actually turned out ot be one of the studio's most original, creative and breathtaking efforts yet.
